What is Basic Income.
A basic income is a periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement.

A basic income could help people choose other work and reconsider old choices: It would enable people to retrain, safe in the knowledge that they’ll have enough money to survive while they do. It will therefore give some freedom to each of us to decide what it is we would truly want to work at for our future.
